Remembering, as Seniors in this vital year, 1943, we view life at our Wesleyan as it iches us to become a part of our age, to adjust to the wings of today.

Hi: IIIC A ! IIIN At graduation when it is intensely real to us who has made this achievement most complete, we Seniors of 194 ) dedicate our Veterropt to Mr. Silas Johnson. In the greatest crisis he did what seemed impossible and kept our Wesleyan, the oldest and best. And at the same time that he was solving the greatest problem of Wesleyannes he gave himself to us as our own sin- cerest friend in our individual problems, interests, and hopes. Sharing with us all the knowl¬ edge about our school, he inspired us by that trust. He made us laugh in those uncertain days with his warm teasing smile. We have been strengthened by his wisdom, his very active faith, and his genuine readiness to face problems and build his plans on reality. He simply and won¬ der! ully taught us a big lesson, not offered in many colleges or many experiences, the grandness of one who can lose himself in an unselfish purpose. We were happy when Florida Southern College recognized the worth of our Mr. Johnson by conferring on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. For his sincerity and for the inspiration of his grand way of living and for his thoughtful interest in us individually, we dedicate our book to our finest friend, Mr. Johnson.
